If you were to ask former Bulls and current Lakers legendary coach Phil Jackson which team was his best, he probably would say it's like choosing a favorite child; you can never truly pick.
如果你想问传奇教头菲尔·杰克逊有关于：是昔日的芝加哥公牛队还是当今洛杉矶湖人队谁更胜一筹的问题时，他可能会说这就像是在选择一个最喜欢的孩子，因此你也就无法得到你满意的答案的。
Either that or he would coolly answer the question in Zen-like fashion with a tongue-in-cheek response like "2007 Lakers."
也许他会以一种冷漠的方式回答这个问题，如用宗师般冷酷的脸并伴随着无诚意的口吻告诉你：“07赛季的湖人是最棒的”。
Regardless of what his actual answer would be, we know one thing for certain about the greatest coach in NBA history: he changes his mind as often as he changes his underwear.
不管他的内心答案是什么，我们可以肯定他是NBA历史上最伟大的教练，因为每当他改变想法的时候就如同更换他穿的内衣一样纠结。
When given this assignment, it was widely assumed that Jackson would step down as Lakers coach—giving me the optimum opportunity to capitalize on Jackson's retirement by giving a definitive list of the coach's greatest teams.
如今需要面对一个任务，当下众多人都认为禅师会辞去湖人主教练席位（禅师以留任）-正是关于禅师的退休事宜给了我一个绝佳的机会去完整的评价禅师生涯中所执教的伟大团队。
However, with the announcement of Jackson's return for an 11th season on the Lakers bench, Phil's "last stand" provides him with an opportunity to further add to his legacy.
然而，随着禅师宣布他将回到湖人继续执教球队时，菲尔的最后一季又给了他增加不少传奇生涯的玛法。
His change of heart has changed this article from a path of reminiscing a fantastic legend's finished career into a celebration of continuation.
他改变了他的看法，因此这篇文章也不得不改变原有准备用庆祝式的方式来完结他的传奇生涯，而现在他还在继续。
A year from now, we could sit here and define Jackson's last stand as his greatest.
从现在开始，我们可以坐下来看看禅师最后一季到底可以怎么伟大。
But, as of now, here are the top 10 Phil Jackson coached teams of his illustrious career.
但是，人生还在继续，到目前为止，下面这份Top10是菲尔职业生涯夺冠的十佳之最。
10. 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls
10.1997-1998年的芝加哥公牛队
Regular Season Record: 62-20
常规赛之路：62胜20负
Playoff Record: 15-6
季后赛之路：15胜6负
Significant Contributors: Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc
球队主要功臣：乔丹，皮蓬，罗德曼，库科奇
Phil's final championship in the Windy City was also his worst. The 1997-1998 incarnation of the Jordan era was marred with an underrated amount of turmoil—ranging from Michael Jordan's impending retirement as well as internal squabbles between Scottie Pippen, Phil Jackson, and Bulls management.
菲尔在风城率队夺冠的最后一个赛季并不完美。在1997-1998赛季是乔丹时代的最后一季，然而作为芝加哥的英雄们却纷纷被卷入了薪水风暴中而无法全身心投入，夺得最后一季的冠军之时乔丹的退役也以迫在眉睫。同时，球队的中坚股斯科特·皮蓬，菲尔和公牛队经理的关系也日益微妙。【实则1998年的芝加哥已经不同往日，联合中心内的矛盾越来越表面化，皮蓬和罗德曼等人牢骚不断，乔丹那张永远不饶人的利嘴连队友带总经理胖子克劳斯一股脑儿地骂了一遍，但也因为他的存在，在胜利与触手可及的三连冠面前，一切最终又化为平静水面下的涌动暗流，这也就是之后一个赛季公牛王朝崩溃的前奏】
Regardless, the team heavily hampered by injuries throughout the entire 1998 NBA season (Scottie Pippen and Luc Longley both missed 24+ games) soared for one final hurrah—signified by Michael Jordan's signature career-ending (or so we thought) and Finals-ending jumper over Byron Russell.
但是不管怎么样，在1998赛季期间全队都被伤病给困扰着，（皮蓬和卢克·郎力纷纷缺席至少24场比赛）为了最后一季的成功—他最后在总决赛晃过爵士后卫拉塞尔并用一记跳投绝杀了对手，也意味着乔丹即将结束他的篮球生涯（普遍认为在芝加哥退役时才是真正的MJ）。
Phil's final season in Chicago may not have been the best team; but it certainly was one of the most memorable in NBA history.
菲尔在芝加哥的最后一季也许并不是最好的，但可以肯定的是这一赛季是NBA历史上最难忘的镜头之一。
9. 1992-1993 Chicago Bulls
9.1992-1993年的芝加哥公牛队
Regular Season Record: 57-25
常规赛之路：57胜25负
Playoff Record: 15-4
季后赛之路：15胜-4负

球队主要功臣：乔丹，皮蓬，阿姆斯特朗，霍勒斯·格兰特
Two spots on the list and we have already knocked two pre-Michael Jordan retirement years out-of-the-way.
这份清单上有两点需要注意，就在这个赛季过后，公牛队会面临两年没有乔丹的赛季。
This Bulls team, unlike the aforementioned 1997-1998 squad, faced no true turmoil throughout their season: The team's core stayed almost completely healthy throughout the year, most players were at the height of their skill level, and talent certainly wasn't lacking.
这支公牛，不像前面提到的1997-1998年的那支球队，整个赛季他们都没有遇到过真正的瓶颈：整一个赛季球队的核心都保持着健康，最重要的球员也保持着最高水平，也不丧失他们的能力。
The 1992-1993 Bulls team suffered from just one true flaw: boredom. Boredom (along with his father's passing) caused Jordan to walk away from basketball following the season, boredom led to a seemingly lackadaisical regular season performance, and boredom almost led to a deciding Game Seven in the 1993 NBA Finals.
1992-1993年赛季的公牛队仅仅遇到一个问题：无聊乏味缺乏刺激感的比赛（乔丹的父亲过世），这一事故直接导致乔丹接下来的几个赛季萌生远离篮球，从常规赛的表现来看也可以归因于无聊而导致的，在1993年的NBA总决赛上，也因与这点差点打生死战第七战。（第六战公牛在终场1分20余秒的时候落后4分，乔丹快速拿下2分，太阳一个三不沾，此前以连得9分的乔丹因无法摆脱凯文的防守而传给皮老二，最后帕克森扬手三分命中，凯文最后的绝杀被格兰特冒掉，【格兰特也在“OK”组合效力过】公牛的第一个三连冠就此诞生）
If it weren't for John Paxon's shot in Game Six, Phil could have been wearing his much-maligned "X" hat one year later.
如果没有帕克森第六场的关键三分，也许菲尔只能在之后一个赛季戴上他那邪恶的帽子了。
8. 2008-2009 Los Angeles Lakers
8.2008-2009年的洛杉矶湖人队
It's hard to imagine that a 65-win team with an unbelievably motivated superstar and a great supporting cast would rank No. 8 on any list. I think the 2008-2009 Lakers ranking on this list is more of a testament to the greatness Phil coached than anything.
很难想像一支球队在一个令人难以置信目的性极强的超级巨星和一个伟大的配角可以赢下65场比赛，这毫无疑问可以被定格在任何榜单中的第八位。我认为湖人队在2008-2009赛季的这个榜单上的排位是菲尔执教球队的又一次伟大的证明。
Motivated by an embarrassing thrashing at the hands of the Boston Celtics in the 2008 NBA Finals, the 2008-2009 Lakers grabbed the 2009 season by the cajones and didn't let go until they came out victorious.
在2008年的总决赛上，势必夺冠的湖人队被波士顿打得毫无生机，夺冠失败。这支2008-2009赛季的湖人队抓住了2009年的机会，他们一鼓作气赢得总冠军，他们并没有让胜利从手中溜走。
Kobe Bryant seemingly finally found the perfect meshing of superstardom and team play as Pau Gasol entrenched himself as the NBA's most formidable second banana in a romp of the over-matched Magic in the 2009 NBA Finals.
科比·布莱恩特终于给自己定了位，自己作为球队核心的角色以及团队的厉害关系，并和发挥完美加锁配合的相得益彰，作为当今NBA历史上最强大的新组合击败魔术队成功夺得了2009年的总冠军。
7. 2001-2002 Los Angeles Lakers
7.2001-2002年的洛杉矶湖人队
All younger Lakers fans have to be questioning how a rotation boding names like Samaki Walker, Devean George, and Lindsay Hunter could be ranked ahead of the 2008-2009 Lakers.
许多年轻的湖人球迷都会质疑像萨马基·沃克，德文·乔治，林赛·亨特这样的球员在球队中该怎么轮换，菲尔的这一招轮换妙手回春也说明了为什么它可以取代08—09赛季而排名第七。
Those fans simply don't remember the dominance of the Shaqobe era.
这些球迷根本就不知道这是鲨鱼统治的时代。
When it came down to ranking these two teams, it came down to one simple question: If the two teams played a seven-game series, which would come out on top?
当我们必须回到现实正视这两支球队的排名时，总的来说呀可以看作是一个很简单的问题：如果这两支球队来一次7场大战的系列赛，那么哪一支球队会脱颖而出更胜一筹呢？
And if you come out with any other answer than the 2001-2002 Lakers, I have to question your basketball intellect.
如果你有任何有关于09年的湖人比02年的湖人更强的话，那么我不得不质疑你的篮球智商。【02年的这支湖人队在西部半决赛击败老对手马刺，而02年的国王队是距离总冠军最接近的一年，当时韦伯和斯托亚科维奇都已经达到职业生涯的巅峰状态。国王队常规赛一路势如破竹，顺势拿下联盟第一的宝座。季后赛前二轮，也很顺利的击败对手，在西部决赛决赛中，再次遇到“OK”组合率领的湖人。可以说，这是我看NBA以来，最为精彩的三个系列赛之一（一个是牛马7场大战，另一次是今年的总决赛），遗憾的是，斯托亚科维奇在赛前受伤，国王队损失了外线最重要的火力点。尽管如此，比赛仍然进行地扣人心弦。前三场比赛，国王队以2-1领先。随之，第四场，国王队在半场领先了湖人20分，但最后时刻，科比绝杀失败，大鲨鱼补篮不进最后由霍里幸运的拿到球绝杀了国王，最终这两支球队把系列赛带到了滴7场。多么惨烈的场面啊，双方十几次交替领先，韦伯三分绝杀失败，进入加时，这是NBA历史第一次进入抢七加时的赛区决赛。最终顽强的湖人笑到了最后，颠峰时期的国王队就这样被毁了。只是往后球迷口中的黑哨也是存在的。】
Boasting the most offensively dominant big man in NBA history outside of Wilt Chamberlain as well as the closest player to Michael Jordan not named Michael Jordan, the 2001-2002 Lakers finished Phil Jackson's third three-peat in style—sweeping the New Jersey Nets in the 2002 NBA Finals.
在NBA历史上除张伯伦之外最具有进攻统治能力的大个子球员（自称大亚里士多德）以及最为接近乔丹那般破环力，当然他不可能与乔丹齐名。2001-2002赛季夺冠是菲尔职业生涯第三次三连冠，在02年总决赛上，他们横扫了东部冠军新泽西篮网队。
It's really too bad that Lakers fans didn't know that would be the last championship of the Shaqobe dynasty.
糟糕的是，湖人队的球迷并不知道这将是“OK”王朝的最后一个冠军。
6. 1996-1997 Chicago Bulls
6.1996-1997年的芝加哥公牛队
Regular Season Record: 69-13
常规赛之路：69胜13负
Playoff Record: 15-4

Following the best record in NBA history is a feat no coach or group of players ever looks forward to—unless that coach is Phil Jackson and the group of players is the 1996-1997 Chicago Bulls.
继续创造NBA历史最佳战绩这一项壮举是教练和球员都不值得去期待的——除非这支球队的主教练是禅师和一群96-97赛季组成的芝加哥公牛队。
Fresh off a 72-10 season (more on this team later), the 1996-1997 Chicago Bulls once again took the league by storm, winning their second consecutive championship of their soon-to-be second three-peat.
刚刚在上一赛季取得NBA史上最佳战绩72胜10负之后（仅仅比这一赛季多了3场），芝加哥公牛队又一次席卷了全联盟，再一次把联盟冠军收入囊中，随后在下一个赛季完成第二次三连冠。
Despite its dominance, this Bulls team had no true contributions whatsoever from anyone other than Jordan, Pippen, or Rodman. One could easily surmise this was a watered down season for the league—hence the dominance by the league's best player.
尽管这支公牛队还存在统治力，但是球队中除了乔丹，皮蓬，罗德曼之外其他队员的贡献实则寥寥无几，那你很容易就可以猜到本赛季是联盟相对于弱化了的一个赛季，只是因为他们握有全联盟最有统治力的球员，从而增加了所谓的统治力罢了。
Nonetheless, 69 wins is pretty damned impressive.
尽管如此，赢得69场胜利***就会让人印象深刻。
This season is also notable for the second time MJ thrashed an undeserving MVP (Karl Malone and Charles Barkley in 1993) in an NBA Finals matchup. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
这个赛季也是乔丹第二次没有得到他理应得到的常规赛最有价值球员的荣誉（这届由马龙当选，93年由巴克利获得这项殊荣），在总决赛上，乔丹证明了联盟记者的眼光是错误的，他也履行了赛前要在总决赛亲自击败对手的承诺。【MVP，属于个人最有价值的一份荣誉，多少年来，这个奖项一支都是NBA球员们梦寐以求的荣誉，每一个得MVP的球员都值得球迷尊敬的，而且他们也的确对得起这份个人荣誉。但是，或许那一年有比他们更适合这个荣誉的人：如97年的乔丹，场均32分联盟之最，69胜亦是冠绝联盟，看上去乔丹将获得MVP，但是最后被卡尔·马龙夺去了。也许之前的一赛季MVP是乔丹，也是记者对这赛季取得的69胜感到不满？但而可笑的是，之后一年明明是马龙的MVP却把奖项颁给了乔丹，这算是如同裁判找平衡吗？史上还有——61-62赛季张伯伦场均50+26，单场100，61-62大O·罗伯特森场均32+11+12，史无前列的场均三双，86-87赛季大鸟场均28+9+8，投篮、三分、罚球命中率分别是53%、40%、91%】
5. 1999-2000 Los Angeles Lakers
5.1999-2000年的洛杉矶湖人队
Phil's first L.A. title was truly a perfect storm in the making. The team boasted the game's most dominant big man finally reaching his full potential, as well as the game's most talented two-guard on the precipice of realizing his.
这是菲尔在洛杉矶的第一次总冠军，就如同制造了一场完美的风暴。毫不夸张的说，这支的比赛至始至终被那个大个子统治着。他有无穷的能量，再加上当时两个全明星级别的后卫协助并配合他。
If anyone ever tried to goad you into a "Kobe vs. Shaq: Whose team was it?" debate, 1999-2000 goes to the Diesel hands-down.
如果有人想试图刺激你以来争论这到底是科比的球队还是大鲨鱼的球队时，1999-2000赛季之旅会很清晰的告诉你，大鲨鱼就像柴油机一样在季后赛予取予求。
But this article isn't about Kobe vs. Shaq—it's about celebrating the greatness of the game's best coach. And the 1999-2000 Lakers is an example of Phil doing what he does best: Taking an already great team and pressing the perfect buttons so the team reaches its full potential.
当然这篇文章并不在讨论科比VS鲨鱼，而是通过这篇文章来庆祝这位历史上最佳教练的。在1999-2000赛季，禅师漂亮的干了他最拿手的事，有这么一个例子：通过一个伟大的团队和按下已经达到完美的团队的按钮以让他们发挥出全部能量。
This was the season we realized it wasn't only MJ pulling the strings in Chicago.
这个赛季我们意识到这不仅仅只有乔丹会在芝加哥做这样的事，菲尔一手策划也可以让湖人做这样的事。而这一切就如同上面讲的，禅师导演这一场风暴就来源于此。
4. 1991-1992 Chicago Bulls
4.1991-1992奶牛的芝加哥公牛队

Or, as it's otherwise known, the year Michael Jordan singlehandedly destroyed Clyde Drexler's career.
因为众所周知，这个赛季乔丹凭一己之力摧毁了滑翔机德雷克斯勒的职业生涯。
The 1991-1992 Bulls team may best be known for the "shrug game" of the 1992 Finals, however, its 67 wins were (at the time) a franchise record.
1991-1992赛季的公牛队也许最让人深知的92年总决赛上“耸肩事件”【乔丹貌似飙进了7个三分，全中。】67胜也是当时公牛队取得的最好战绩。
While its predecessor rolled through the NBA playoffs, the 1991-1992 team struggled against both a game Knicks team in the second round as well as the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Conference Finals.
虽然之前的一个赛季席卷了NBA的季后赛，但在1991-1992季后赛中，芝加哥公牛队在分区决赛对阵尼克斯和东部决赛对阵克里夫兰还是遇到了不少麻烦。
This was also the season that forward Scottie Pippen established himself as one of the game's top five or 10 players, averaging a rare 20-7-7 in his best career season, in my opinion.
这个赛季也是球队前锋皮蓬成为顶尖联盟的Top5-10，在我个人看来，他场均20+7+7是他职业生涯最好的一季。
3. 1990-1991 Chicago Bulls
3.1990-1991年的芝加哥公牛队

The first is always the sweetest, isn't it?
第一次总是最甜美的，不是吗？
In only Phil's second season as an NBA head coach, he led an emotional (as seen in the picture) Michael Jordan to his long-elusive first NBA championship.
这仅仅是菲尔作为NBA主教练的第二年，他带领一个易动感情（如图所示）的乔丹去赢得他的第一座总冠军。
Not only is the brevity in which Phil brought a championship to Chicago impressive, but so is the style in which the 1990-1991 Bulls accomplished the feat—destroying both the two-time defending champion Detroit Pistons as well as the final Magic Johnson-led Lakers team to win the NBA Finals.
菲尔给芝加哥带来的第一座奖杯不仅仅在那么一瞬间的事，而是给风城球迷留下最深刻的印象，1990-1991的公牛队用他们的风格完成了这一项壮举，他们在东部决赛击败了长期压制且取得两次NBA总冠军的活塞队，【从1：4，2：4，3：4，4：0不容易啊】以及在总决赛击败由魔术师领衔的湖人队从而捧起了他们的第一座奖杯。
The Jordan-Pippen era might not have been in full swing in 1991, but it's impossible to have a dynasty without first beginning one.
1991年，“乔丹-皮蓬”时代也许不是农民的如火如荼，但没有好的一个开始哪来的王朝呢？【由于年龄所带来的时代更替，当91年的湖人再次从西部杀出从围带着被时间磨损的身体与记忆将权杖交接与23号—其仪式感远高于比赛的含金量-------其来自与深锐】
2. 2000-2001 Los Angeles Lakers
2.2000-2001年的洛杉矶湖人队
Sheer unadulterated dominance. That's the only way to describe the 2000-2001 Los Angeles Lakers.
只能用一种方式来描述2000-2001年的洛杉矶湖人队，纯粹纯粹的优势。
Despite a slightly lackluster and at times lackadaisical regular season, there was no doubt who ruled the NBA once the 2001 Playoffs started.
尽管稍有些心不在焉，在常规赛表现得也毫无生机，但没有关系，一到季后赛开始后，他完全控制了这个舞台。
Spearheaded by (possibly) the most dominant duo in NBA history at its peak, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal could have been surrounded by a team of YMCA league scrubs and still won the 2001 NBA championship.
这有可能是NBA史上最有统治力的双星组合，而且他们正处于巅峰。也许“Ok”组合可以带领一组基督教青年会所里的板凳上场也能够拿到01年的总冠军。
This is also known as the Kobe Bryant's last season of satisfaction with his second banana role to Shaq. Soon greed and stubbornness would bring the Lakers dynasty to a screeching halt.
众所周知，这也是科比最后一季满足于球队次于大鲨鱼的二号人物，不久是他的贪婪和固执使湖人王朝出现了紧急刹车。
However, for one glorious year we had two of the top 10 NBA players of all-time playing at their peak levels on the same team.
然而，争对于01年这么辉煌的一季来讲，我们有两个前10位的NBA球员在他们的历史上效力于同一支球队。
And that's an amazingly beautiful thing.
这是一件令人惊叹的美艳事件啊。

How could the team with the best record in NBA history not be the greatest Phil Jackson coached team?
有什么理由不把菲尔所执教的公牛队取得纵观NBA史上最佳战绩的一季放在首位呢？
I mean just look at the following records the team set:
我的意思是仅仅看看下面的记录就足够让你信服：
1. Best Regular Season Record in NBA History (72-10)
1.NBA史上常规赛最佳战绩（72胜10负）
2. Best Regular Season Road Record in NBA History (33-8)
2.NBA史上常规赛最佳客场战绩（33胜8负）
3. Best Regular Season Start in NBA History (41-3)
3.NBA史上常规赛开局最佳战绩（41胜3负）
4. Longest Home Winning Streak in NBA History (44 games including seven from 1995-1996)
4.NBA史上最长的主场连胜记录（包括1995-1996赛季7场总共连胜44场）
5. Best Regular Season Home Start in NBA History (37-0)
5.NBA史上常规赛主场最佳开局记录（37胜0负）
The team's regular season dominance, unlike some regular season powerhouses seen in the past, continued throughout the postseason as well with the team destroying its Eastern Conference foes and squelching the burgeoning Gary Payton-Shawn Kemp nucleus in Seattle.
这赛季的公牛完全控制了NBA，且与过去的某些常规赛伪强队不同，他们把常规赛的气势带到了季后赛，在整个东部中，他们以11胜1负的战绩击溃了对手。在总决赛上，他们又以4：2战胜了当时有手套和雨人联手的西雅图超音速【雷霆前身】
The NBA's greatest season, with the NBA's greatest player, coached by the NBA's greatest coach. Sounds implausible, doesn't it?
这是NBA史上最伟大的赛季，拥有NBA最伟大的球员，NBA最神奇的教头，听起来不可思议，不是吗？
Not if Phil Jackson is the man in charge.
很难想像如果菲尔不是球队的教练的话？那么这一切、、、、、、
